    I'll have a different slant, of course.
    Moore's Bond - what I would not do ...

    5) scuba dive or helm a mini-sub (no heights, eh, @pachazo? for me, my nightmare is underwater; I could barely watch Vesper's end in CR or the freezing cold marsh underwater fight in SF - the underwater scenes in FYEO bother me, too)

    4) relied on Goodnight for anything

    3) made the most cringeworthy one liners ("Sit!" - and that Tarzan yell are the top 2)

    2) race across crocs (I grew up close enough to alligators; no thank you!)

    1) try to punch Jaws anywhere; but yeah, especially not in the mouth area

    5 - Ignore the fact that an empty gun weighs significantly less than a loaded one.

    4 - Worry about plutonium when Denise Richards in hardly any clothing stands besides you.

    3 - Tease Carver at his party even before some serious snooping has been done. Enjoy blowing your cover that much, Bond?

    2 - Choose Jinx over Miranda.

    1 - Let the masseuse go.
  • 5. Make the pain face.

    4. Not exercise my licence to kill on Jinx immediately.

    3. Say "Time to face gravity!"

    2. Straighten my tie underwater.

    1. Say, "I thought Christmas only comes once a year."

    1. Sleep with Paris, Christmas and Jinx. Christ! Sounds like a pantomime line up when you put all three names together!

    2. Speak German as if I'm reading it off a cue card.

    3. Play that god awful virtual reality shooting range.

    4. Act as if nothing has happened following 14 months of imprisonment and extreme torture.

    5. Not punch Jack Wade in the face. Repeatedly.
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    1. Adjust my tie underwater. Although, I do admire Pierce's input.
    2. Walk past Mr. Kil without momentarily adopting his name.
    3. Choose not to take out both of Zao's knees while he's in Los Organos dreaming of nice things.
    4. Take the P99 from Miranda without having a WTF moment.
    5.

    Oh, most definitely. I'd take Rachel Grant before any of the others in DAD. In fact, I'd rate her second after Izabella when it comes to Brosnan's Bond girls. Ooh wee!

    5. Avoid some of those cringeworthy lines - especially the "Christmas only comes once a year" gag.

    4. Make that painful face

    3. Put up with Jinx and her wise cracks for more than 5 minutes

    2. Straighten my tie underwater.

    1. Keep a straight face whilst 'acting' with Denise Richards.

    5) say the most cringeworthy lines, especially ones involving the words "Christmas," "bad", and "Jinx".
    4) (taking a cue from Willy ...) Not leave Jack Wade in the parking lot with his pants down. (I found him to be very annoying indeed)
    3) the bungee jump
    2) accept the script of Die Another Day (no matter how good the opening read, read the rest of it, Pierce! Especially the dialog coming out of Jinx's mouth!)
    Ok, that is for Pierce; I need one for his Bond: take so frickin' long to kill Renard
    1) go from a very good series of scenes of torture and prisoner exchange and a bitter meeting with M ... right into a sopping wet, overfed fool strolling barefoot into a classy hotel in what looks like his pajamas, without a care in the world. That was so stupid.

    (I did really like the tie straightening underwater scene, though) :)

    I've got a theory about this Dimi; Instead of emptying the gun clip, Frost disables the firing pin........

    1.) A lot of moments in DAD, specifically not taking shots when I could, some of those lines, along with not recognizing the weight of my P99 when Frost handed it to me, or acting fairly cool after being tortured for so long. I'd still bed Jones, Jinx, and Frost, though. ;-)
    2.) Kept quiet when the Tiger helicopter was escaping and I was caught.
    3.) Killed Carver with the drill. It's a nice twist, killing the man with what he created, but I never cared for it.
    4.) Dove. Does anyone else notice that Brosnan dives down the cradle stairwell in GE, the caviar stairwell in TWINE, and the fencing club stairwell in DAD? If I tried, I would've snapped my neck.
    5.) Everything else. Brosnan's the man, I could never take that place. :-)

    Don't forget where Dove off or towards the side of Moon's super hovercraft without falling off somehow. :))

    @Murdock, I completely forgot! Such an insane dive yet he lands only a few feet away.

    5 - Harassing that sumo wrestler at Osato's. Must have delivered a few headaches for sure.

    4 - Talk about decoding machines when a beautiful Russian girl wants you to make love to her ALL NIGHT.

    3 - Playing around with Blofeld's minisub when a machine gun might have done the trick. And much better too.

    2 - Never call Pat Fearing again. A nurse like that, you settle for her, Jimmy!

    1 - Not join SPECTRE. I mean, come on. A private island, someone like Fiona working for you, ...

    1. Returning for Diamonds Are Forever.

    2. Returning for Never Say Never Again.

    3. Going Japanese!

    4. Turning lesbians straight.

    5. Swimming underwater with a plastic duck on my head.

    Why does everybody rag on the fake duck on Connery's head? It's a disguise! He's trying to sneak into a compound. It's similar to Roger's Croc sub.

    5) Slap a woman, however playfully, on the ass and think that is cool and/or acceptable.
    4) Allow anybody to turn me "Japanese" (it was so successful, right?)
    3) Make that exceedingly goofy face (I cannot find the picture! What was it, Goldfinger?)
    2) Been so brusque with Domino when telling her of her brother's death
    1) Not shoot Klebb

    Are you referring to when he's locked up at Goldfinger's stud farm and he tricks the guard into opening the door?

    Yes I think so, he deliberately makes the goofiest face ...
  • Moore Bond

    #1 Ski off the mountain in The Spy Who Loved Me

    #2 Climb up the cliff face at Saint Cyrils monastery, FYEO

    #3 Swing through trees doing tarzan yells - Fleming would of been spinning like a top

    #4 Spend more than a few minutes with Tanya Roberts. Seconds, probably

    #5 Get in bed with Grace Jones


    Brosnan Bond

    #1 Accept the role of playing, or being James Bond to begin with. Should I say that ? Fair enough, maybe the underwater scenes in TWINE with the submarine in Istanbul

    #2 Go ski-ing. Any ski-ing

    #3 Quit making silly noises, and questionable facial expressions

    #4 Jump off the dam at the Archangel facility in Goldeneye

    #5 Be alone with Xenia at the steam room in the above release. No scrap that, there could actually be some fun to be had there


    Connery Bond

    #1 Getting in a tussle with Bambi and Thumper. Then again as with Xenia, there could be opportunity there

    #2 Having a tarantula crawl over my bear skin

    #3 Letting Wint and Kidd get too close to me

    #4 Get anywhere too close to piranhas (fight with Hans, YOLT)

    #5 Turn James Bond 'British secret agent' into 'James Bond Japanese agent' You Only Live Twice. Should really be at the top of the list but we'll let it lie

    5. Dont drive inside the Ice Place when the sun beam is right on top of it just to save Jynx. Was she really worth saving?

    4. Dont let the pipeline bomb blow up. Let Dr Jones defuse the bomb. Dont let Elektra think she killed u.

    3. Dont hold the machine gun to Alec & Xenia on the train with your back against the door where Oroumoff comes in with Natalya. Make Alec & Xenia stand in front of the door so u can have a clear shot at Oroumoff.

    2. Dont walk into the nice hotel in Hong kong all wet and in your hospital gown. Go mug someone off the street and steal their clothes

    1. Dont ride a motor bike off a cliff just to catch a fallen plane to escape. Just take the chances of being capture and firgure a way to escape. Your Bond after all
